A family visit to your grandparents house typically involves a lot of talking, playing, and good food. Maybe even looking at some of the antiques and family heirlooms around the home. That s exactly how one family s trip to Sumner County started over the weekend; however, things took a turn when a toddler got stuck inside a wooden barrel.
Kelly Strubing and her family were visiting relatives on Saturday (May 3) when her 2-year-old son,
Dorian, got trapped inside the antique after climbing inside, she told
After a series of X-rays pinpointed where Dorian s feet, knees and hips were, medical staff and emergency service crews from the Portland Fire Department and Sumner County EMS set to work cutting the barrel off using a power saw and screwdrivers. Once they made a hole big enough for his legs to go through, they were able to pull Dorian up and out of the barrel.
